Why Is Raul Neto Starting Over Trey Burke?

[Mentch]

Someone please make sense of this one to me because there seems to be no logical reason for this

 

[Panic!]

Defense. And Trey Burke is better as a 6th man. When Burke is the primary ballhandler, it seems like he's forgetting how to shoot.

I dont feel the difference is enough to warrant benching Burke. If there was someone better than Burke, I could understand him coming off the bench. But Neto is a fucking scrub

Burke was shooting 36% when he's the starting PG.

42% when he's not.

Less pressure in handling the ball.

Like I said, that's not the issue I have with Burke coming off the bench. I'm sure he's a better fit off the bench, it's just that out of everyone they picked to start over Burke, they picked Raul fucking Neto? Come on they could have done much better

when Exum comes back, it will be very hard for Burke to transition to the bench again.

Neto is a temporary replacement for Exum.

Forgot about Exum myself. But the thing about that is that Exum played like shit himself when he was in there. 22 mpg and 5 ppg and 2.4 apg on 35% from the field. I've considered Exum a bust ever since he was drafted and he's done absolutely nothing at all up to this point in time to make me think I was wrong

Their defense in the 2nd half of the season last year due to starting Gobert and Exum was like 2nd best in the league if I remember.

And Exum is not a bust.

In his only summer league game, he outplayed Marcus Smart.

It was summer league, but if you watch it, you'd be impressed with how he belittled Marcus Smart's defense with his explosive first step.
